New Windows 11 Build 22635.2486– Start Menu Changes and Fixes in the Beta Channel

In this article, we will talk about the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Beta Channel, which is Build 22635.2486.

Microsoft is making some changes to the Beta Channel:

• They will no longer release 2 different builds for the Beta Channel, and everyone will now be on the same build
• Insiders who want all the new features will need to toggle on the get the latest updates as they are available setting in Windows Update
• Features will be tested in 2 different ways: new features, improvements, and fixes that are being gradually rolled out for Insiders who have turned ON the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available and then new features, improvements, and fixes gradually rolling out to everyone in the Beta Channel. 

Start Menu Changes

• Under All apps in the Start menu, Windows 11 system components will now show a “system” label.
• The Xbox Game Bar will now show as just Game Bar under the Start menu and also under Settings > System > Apps > Installed apps. This change will come through a Game Bar update via the Microsoft Store.

Casting

The improved screen casting experience introduced with Build 22631.2129 has been temporarily disabled to fix some bugs. We plan to re-enable this in a future Beta Channel flight.

Fixes in this Build

• Fixed an issue causing Start menu to crash on launch if the display language was set to Czech or Slovak.
• Fixed an issue where the search icon in the taskbar wasn’t appearing correctly for people using search icon and label.
